David Wilkerson emphasizes that God is assembling a powerful army of
dedicated Christians in these last days, a remnant that will stand
against immorality and compromise. This new army will consist of both
young and seasoned believers who are committed to prayer and fasting,
reminiscent of the godly forefathers who once led the way. Despite the
decline of the denominational church, God is preparing a holy remnant to
carry out His will, as exemplified by the prophet Samuel in 1 Samuel.

new generation of warriors to impact the world. The message calls for
believers to embrace their role in this divine movement.

Something very powerful and awesome is going on in the world today--
something beyond human comprehension--something that will affect the
whole world in these last days.

God is preparing a small but powerful army of Christians, the most
dedicated army on the face of the earth. The Lord will come forth to
command them to do exploits; He is going to close out the ages with a
pure, devoted, fearless remnant.

All my life I have heard stories about our godly forefathers who hated
sin. These men and women knew God's voice and spent hours, even days, in
fasting and prayer. They prayed unceasingly and had the power and
ability to successfully stand up against immorality in their day.

These forefathers have long since passed on. But God is in the process
of raising up another army and this time His warriors will not be made
up only of elderly, gray-haired fathers and mothers of Zion. This new
army will be composed of both new and seasoned believers, both young and
old, ordinary Christians who lay hold of God! A whole new realm of
ministry is about to come forth!

The denominational church system appears to be in the throes of death.
It has almost no influence in the secular world, no mighty power in
Christ. Some accuse me of being "hard" on pastors. But I am in touch
with many godly pastors who grieve as I do over the backsliding in the
ministry today. There is a holy remnant of godly pastors in the land,
and I thank God for every one of them. Yet, it is still a fact that more
and more ministers are racing down the road of compromise.

The Bible warns that we are not to fret! God has a plan and it is being
manifested. It is put forth plainly in Scripture, mostly in the first
four chapters of First Samuel.

The prophet Samuel is a type of God's last-days remnant. The Lord chose
him amid the worst of times and hid him away in training until it was
time to bring forth His new thing. God told Samuel, "Behold, I will do
something in Israel at which both ears of everyone who hears it will
tingle" (1 Samuel 3:11). What would so amaze and startle all who heard
it? It was the judgment of God on the backslidden religious system and
the raising up, training and anointing of a new, holy remnant!

What God did in Samuel's day, He does in every generation. Indeed, in
every generation there has been a remnant, a praying people after His
own heart.
